Description
This beautifully illustrated book examines the history, culture, and spirituality of the Italian city of Siena, the City of the Virgin. Home of St. Catherine and St. Bernardino, Siena was equally renowned for its architectural beauty and its religious devotion. Through the use of color photographs, maps, and reproductions of original manuscripts, Burckhardt invites the reader to walk the streets of a city whose history mirrors the development of Christianity in Europe.Tags
